Open Slovene WordNet (OSWN) is derived from Open English WordNet (https://en-word.net/), which itself is derived from Princeton WordNet by the Open English WordNet Community.
OSWN 1.0 contains 95,262 synsets and a total of 164,904 literals. Not all synsets from Open English WordNet were included in this version; approximately 25.000 very terminological synsets (such as those related to specific animal and plant species) require additional analysis and specific expertise. These will be included in later versions.
OSWN 1.0 was constructed by using several relevant existing datasets (sloWNet - http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1026; bilingual dictionaries, thesauri etc.) and methodologies (co-occurrence graphs, machine translation, ChatGPT). Finally, all synsets were manually checked by translators and lexicographers in order to remove inadequate literals. Each synset was checked by one annotator.
The English definitions of synsets were translated automatically using ChatGPT. OSWN 1.0 includes both the English originals as well as their machine translations into Slovene.
